KUALA LUMPUR: Youths were said to have played a major role in delivering victory to Pakatan Harapan in the 14th general election last year, but today some question the wisdom of their choice, saying they are still waiting for the government to make good on its promises.
“It meant that the institutional land proposed for the project would be spared from becoming yet another unsustainable high-rise,” she said. However, Kuala Lumpur City Hall is appealing the decision at the Federal Court. “The last I heard, they want to develop a plot of land in the vicinity of this forest reserve. We talk so much about eco-tourism, yet the federal territories minister is not trying to protect this forest reserve,” she said.
“I’m disappointed because the minister was unable to resolve the issue. The worst is that he washed his hands of the matter and left it to the Cabinet to come up with a solution.” Copywriter Chan Ming Han, 27, said he saw no difference in the process of hiring a domestic worker after PH came to power.
Jamilah was referring to the promise made by Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman that he would help youths secure jobs and reduce the unemployment rate in the country. “From what I’ve heard, the development order has already been issued. After all the protests, the Selangor government is keeping quiet.
Keep on dreaming, said one minister
Be realistic, there are still resistance in the system and time only will tell. You don't build a bridge in one day ! You need to plan and strategise and lastly procure and build.
